We often focus on exercise, diet, and mental health when maintaining overall well-being. However, a crucial body component deserves equal attention: the pelvic floor. The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that forms a supportive hammock-like structure at the base of the pelvis. One effective way to ensure the health of these muscles is through Kegel exercises. Our pelvic floor specialists at EW Motion Therapy can incorporate Kegels into your exercise program as appropriate to help strengthen your pelvic floor muscles. Even if pelvic floor physical therapy isn’t what you’re looking for, you can still read on as we explore what Kegels are, their benefits and potential risks, how they contribute to pelvic floor health, and how they are used in pelvic floor physical therapy.
